Possible to re-record a single album track?

[Javic]

While playing back a recently recorded album, I found there's a skip in one track on side 2 that I didn't notice while recording. Does VS provide a mechanism to record over a single track, or must I re-record the entire album side?

If the latter... I recorded both sides in a single file. Will I need to re-record the entire album?

Hi,

You can get away with just recording side 2, but not just the one track.  The procedure is:

1.  Truncate your existing recording, which you can do in the Cleanup Audio window (right-click on the waveform display and select 'Truncate Recording at Cursor').

2.  Re-record side 2 (as side 2).

3.  Touch up your track breaks before saving your tracks again.

If VinylStudio won't let you do #1 (not all recording formats can be truncated), you can adjust the track break markers to elide the unwanted audio.  Hold down the Alt key to drag them as a group.

For surgery like this, I use Audacity,  It's free, and works quite well for cutting and pasting audio. In your case I'd just record the one bad track and paste it in, then re-import into VS and re-export the album.

Vinyl Studio has helpful documentation under Help -> Importing, Exporting and Converting files.

That's a pretty good idea. I have Audacity installed which I've used for other things, but it didn't occur to me to use it for this. Thanks! (But having the feature in Vinyl Studio would still be nice. )
